Rationalisation of Ending ASIC Instrument Measures
Submission to: Treasury
Joint submission from the financial counselling sector in response to proposals to move the current licensing exemptions applying to financial counselling agencies from ASIC legislative instruments into the primary law and regulations. The current licensing exemptions exempt financial counselling agencies from having to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence or an Australian Credit Licence, as long as the agency meets certain requirements. We support the policy intent of the proposed rationalisation, but recommend that the wording in the current ASIC instruments is replicated exactly in the new regulations, rather than introducing new terms. The submission also supports the proposal that rural financial counselling agencies are provided with an AFSL exemption.
